Learn to paint, one beautiful piece at a time.

Paper Chocolate story

My name is Daria DiCieli, I’m an artist and founder of Paper Chocolate. I’ve always believed that art should do more than just hang on a wall—it should move your soul.

My journey started in the world of high-end illustration and animation, collaborating with brands like Cosmopolitan, Hallmark, Madam, and ELLE, and exhibiting my work from London to Monaco. But the most important piece I ever created wasn't for a gallery or a magazine. It was a simple, hand-painted collage I designed for myself during a time when I desperately needed a breakthrough.

I painted individual elements, pieced them together, and anchored them with a single quote: "I can and I will — watch me."

Creating that piece changed my frequency. The slow, tactile process of painting became my daily anchor, a reminder to stay connected to my power when I felt overwhelmed. When I saw that same spark ignite in other women who experienced this method, I realized this was about more than just art. It was a movement.

I created Paper Chocolate for the woman who is ready to bring her vision to life. My signature Paint-by-Piece Method combines hand-drawn artistry with a singular mission: to help you slow down, claim your bliss, and manifest your dreams through a beautiful creative ritual.

The Paint-by-Piece Method

You don’t need an art background or hours of free time. We break creativity down into a fast, effortless escape:

  • 01. Paint Effortlessly: We focus on simple, gorgeous elements like watercolor petals. It is pure, meditative color therapy.

  • 02. Layer Intentionally: We slow down to cut and arrange those elements into a stunning, multi-dimensional collage.

  • 03. Anchor with Soul: We finish the piece with an inspiring quote—a chic visual affirmation for your space.
